Am loving the timelapse sequences and tilt shift used in this piece. Also, it features Bournemouth where I spent three happy student years :)
I’m hoping to make a documentary film about coastal Essex, focusing on the piers in Walton, Clacton and Southend. I’ve been gathering tidbits of research and inspiration. This was a big help.
